Foxton Golf Club
Manawatū-Whanganui
Foxton Golf Club is a welcoming 18‑hole, par‑72 course set just north of the charming town of Foxton on the Manawatū‑Whanganui coast. Carved into sandy soils with a park‑like feel, the layout delivers gently rolling fairways, mature tree-lined corridors, and well-maintained greens that offer both challenge and enjoyment for golfers of all skill levels. The course’s natural drainage and sheltered micro‑climate mean it plays consistently year‑round, even when nearby courses are soggy or closed. With a practice fairway and putting green next to the clubhouse, it's ideal for warm‑ups or fine‑tuning your game. Friday green fees are also only $25 all day!
A big highlight is the club’s easygoing, friendly atmosphere. Visitors are warmly embraced—no tee bookings are required, and green‑fee play is affordable and straightforward. Regular club days throughout the week bring a warm buzz to the course, and guests are encouraged to tee up alongside locals, making it easy to join in socially competitive or casual rounds. Amenities like carts, trolleys, and a comfortable bar and catering setup with a spacious deck create a relaxed post‑round hangout.
The wider Foxton area offers a rich mix of culture and coastal charm. Just off State Highway 1, the town features the award‑winning Te Awahou Nieuwe Stroom centre—a hub celebrating both Māori and Dutch heritage—and the iconic ‘De Molen’ windmill that grinds stone‑ground flour and houses a cosy café ready for coffee breaks. The nearby Flax Stripper Museum and historical buildings add layers of local storytelling, while Foxton Beach and the Manawatū River estuary invite leisurely walks, bird‑watching, swimming, kite surfing, or simply watching boats glide in and out. There’s even a quirky horse‑drawn tram through town on weekends.
Why head here? Foxton Golf Club offers a genuine slice of Kiwi golfing life—unpretentious, sociable, and comfortably scenic. It’s perfect for road‑trippers between Palmerston North and Wellington, ferry travellers, or anyone seeking a peaceful, off‑the‑beaten‑track round. Pair your game with coastal exploration, heritage cafés, rural scenery, and wildlife on the coast to create a richly memorable day—or weekend—away.
